The Boathouse Cafe - Argyll Bute

So glad to have returned. I came here two years ago with my wife and a couple of friends and we had a great time. Two years on and I had promised my daughter that I would take her there. Sometimes when you return to a restaurant where you had a good meal, it’s not the same, not as good. The same cannot be said of The Boathouse. I went for the Cullen Skink on the advice of the waitress who was exemplary. It was delicious! The stone bass, accompanied with a Sauvignon Blanc was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Such a beautiful setting and such wonderful food.

A quick ferry across from Tayinloan takes you to this great little restaurant. Crazy rain on the day, we had already booked an inside table, but it is Scotland! The food and service was fab and we would thoroughly recommend this little cracker but do remember to book!

We spent a fantastic couple of nights in Gigha, during which time we had two exceptional meals at the restaurant. I can’t speak highly enough of the service, quality of food and great atmosphere that the Boathouse provided. For starters, I had the mussels and for the main I ordered the stonebass, washed down with a delicious bramble! When we returned again, there was a BBQ with something for everyone. I think it’s important to note that the staff were incredibly friendly and this made for a really great experience. This is a must try for all seafood lovers! C L

Lobster to die for. Great menu, great staff and the best seafood straight from the sea. On the beach. What could be better

We enjoyed the local ale on tap and tasty cocktails at this restaurant. We began with gigha oysters and queenie's, both of which were a must-try. The venison for our main course was superbly delicious. We ended our meal with a homemade sticky toffee pudding that was absolutely delicious. Thank you for a great dining experience.
